Motebong Lodge | Self Catering Accommodation | Lesotho

Motebong lodge is located on what was a construction staff residential camp during the construction of the Katse dam’s transfer tunnel, following the signing of the Lesotho Highlands water project treaty in 1986. The camp has now been converted to a comfortable guest accommodation with a restaurant serving choice dishes and a well-stocked bar while retaining features that reflect its rich history.

Located on the banks of the Katse dam, the camp provided an exciting water sports opportunities for the only guest as the facility with direct access to Katse dam.

Motebong lodge not only provides comfortable guest accommodation, but is also an ideal location for high altitude training and has hosted teams such as the SA rowing Olympics team for its high altitude training camps since 2013. Because of the peaceful and quite surrounding’s, Motebong is also ideal for hosting team building sessions and workshops. The scenic surroundings also make it ideal for landscape photography and location for various television productions – the prize-winning movie company Giant films tv shot a Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) campaign from the surrounding sites.

Self Catering Accommodation

Accommodation at the mountain lodge is made up of fully-furnished and fully-equipped self catering cottages of varying sizes and accommodating a varying number of people. These cottages are heated with coal or electric and gas stoves, which is critical during the winter months. They are cleaned daily by our housekeeping staff with the exception of a couple of days when the staff is also given time off

Activities and facilities

The Lesotho Highlands and Motebong mountain lodge offer a host of activities both within the camp and in the surrounding highlands. Although a place for rest and relaxation, those looking for some excitement, fun and games have also come to the right place. Notwithstanding this, one gets tempted to sit back, relax and do absolutely nothing
